coronal mass ejections (CMEs)

1 answer

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the type of solar weather events that one would predict could cause degradation in power grid operations on Earth. CMEs can release large amounts of solar plasma and magnetic fields that can interact with Earth's magnetic field, potentially leading to geomagnetic storms that impact power grids.
